Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Kilbirnie Hotel enjoys a great location close to both the beach and Newquay town, making it ideal for coastal walks and exploring the area. Guests often appreciate the clean and spacious rooms, many with comfortable beds, walk-in showers, and en-suite bathrooms; some rooms even offer lovely views of the Atlantic Ocean. The inclusion of a swimming pool and sauna is a plus for many visitors, though a few guests have noted that noise from other rooms or corridors can sometimes be an issue. It is considered excellent value for money by some.

the breakfast service was acceptable, i guess.
the walls were so thin. i could hear every conversation, every door slam, even someone's questionable music taste. and the shower? it alternated between scalding hot and freezing cold with no mercy. i swear, it was a personal vendetta.

Solid Stay Near the Coast

The family room was large. It had everything families need. The hotel sits near a walkable park trail. I saw the sea easily. The staff was helpful. I had a good experience.
Walls seemed thin. Sounds traveled easy from next door. Replacing towels in our room was inconsistent. I also needed hot chocolate. Breakfast service was slow at times.

Our room was not cleaned one day. Even after I asked at reception, nothing happened. The room was still untidy when we returned. Also. there was a lot of noise at night from the second floor. I could hear everything, it was annoying. the beds were very uncomfortable. I won't stay there again.
